' - ,~~ he olux., WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON: WEDNESDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 5, 1838. In another place will be found a letter from Devizes, which states three facts that are worthy of public at tention :—The first is, that the agricultural labourers of the west are looking for relief, and with hope, to the men of the north, and are ready to aid and support them. The second is, and it indicates the cause of the deep-rooted discontent implied in the first, that the distress of the people is so great, that many children are kept from school because parents cannot procure them decent clothing. The children being kept at home will, from idleness, learn vice, and get into mischief, adding to the distress of the parents, and causing an increase of crime, which, our Correspondent says, always ac companies scarcity. The third fact is that the distress has already reached the point at which the people have recourse to a worse kind of food. They are using barley meal for bread instead of wheat. If such a circumstance occurred in the ab sence of all restrictions on the supply of food, the people would have to bow in submission to it as the will of Providence ; but the Corn-laws now justly bear all the blame, and the Legislature by interfering be tween the people and their food, takes on itself the immense odium and the immense responsibility of an insufficient harvest. It is generally said that the evils of life are quite as much as poor human nature can bear, and to us it seems something like madness in the Legislature thus to direct against itself all the discon tent of a hungry people. The suggestion of our Correspondent as to sending round persons to lecture Against the Corn-laws, and forming Anti-Corn-law Societies, has already, we know, occurred to the Anti-Corn-law Society of the Metropolis, and w ill, we b e li eve , b e ac t e d on. With the accumulated evidence which is now before the country of the vast distress caused by the Corn-laws in every place, of the deep-rooted discontent which ge nerally prevails, and the fierce hatred of the national in stitutions which grows from the distress, surely the Par liament will seriously consider whether it will retain those laws. It ought now to be convinced, if our institutions are valuable, if the public peace be of importance, if the preservation of property be essential to public happi ness, that the moral consequences of the Corn-laws are far more pernicious than their economical and com mercial consequences. Without waiting, therefore, to be asked to repeal such laws, a wise or a prudent Legislature would repeal them for the sake of justice ; but when asked, it ought to be eager to repair its enor mous error. The great mass of the Chartists allege, as their main reason for demanding a complete new Constitution—for such the Charter will be—and for refusing to petition for the abolition of the Corn laws, that nothing good, nothing just, can be got from the Parliament as now constituted. Let the Parliament, by the abolition of the Corn-laws, convict them of error. The just complaint of the masses is, that the aristocracy make laws only for their own benefit ; and, therefore, they demand Universal Suffrage. Let the aristocracy but once show a disposition to disregard their own presumed, selfish interests, by the abolition of the Corn-laws—to which they should be moved by all the motives which are influential with honourable, honest, and magnanimous men—and they will, at one blow, disarm their most formidable antagonists, and take from the masses their present just grounds for mistrust and hatred. We do not appeal to their fears, though in our opinion there is good ground for alarm, but to their sense of honour; and we tell them it is more disgraceful in gentlemen than cozening usury, to extort wealth from a confiding people, by stinting their supply of food. Of late several of the leaders of the people have recommended them to get arms, and be prepared to use them ; extreme and extensive violence is threat ened ; and both the Whig Chronicle, and the Tory Herald, agree in stating that property stands in con siderable danger. We have of late heard of several acts of incendiarism, and of torch-light meetings. The people are said to have followed their leaders' advice, to have armed themselves, and to practice shooting. Such proceedings will and must be put down. All the men of property in every part of the country will call on Parliament, as soon as it meets, and com pel the Ministry, let who will be in office, to interfere with all the power of Government and the law, for the protection of property and the preservation of tranquillity. Strong measures will be required, and will be taken. If not rendered wholly unnecessary by first abolishing the Corn-laws, that would recommend and justify them. If coercion be necessary, it would be soothed by a sacrifice on the part of the aristocracy who seem now to expect that the masses will consent to be half-starved and fettered for the presumed public good, while they will not take on themselves the slightest burden, nor give up one penny of the wealth they can legally extort. A _n interesting communication on the highly impor tant subject of our present relations in India addressed to this Journal by c • Captain W ESTMACOTT, of the Bengal Army, will be found in our columns of this day. In noticing—which we did last week--a pam phlet published by this Gallant Officer, rela tive to the present and future prospects of our Indian Empire, we took occasion to point out the claims to the serious attention of the people of this .country, which his long residence and extensive travels in British India gave to his statements. These claims we shall not again dwell upon, as the views of our Oriental policy, taken by Captain WEsT IIACOTT, differ in little or nothing from those uni formly set forth in the leading columns of The Sun. The Gallant Captain complains that the timid policy of Lord AM BEAST, and the mistaken economy of Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, in the administration of the Government of India, have mutually contributed to place our empire in the East in a situation of peril from which nothing short of the utmost firmness on the part of the supreme Government and the Local Authorities can safely and honourably extricate it. We have long endeavoured t,.1 place this fact in a strong light before the British people. Many of Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK'S measures of economy were excellent ; and his Lordship certainly removed many crying abuses in the interior Administration ; but upon the whole, abstract theories, rather than the principle s of enlightened statesmanship, directed his public career; and in carrying out theories, few public men know where to stop. While the native subjects of England in the East remain in a state of ignorance —while they retain the religious and local customs and feelings of their ancestry— while they continue " aliens" in language, in faith, in associations of national glory, in customs, in colour, and in all the peculiarities of social life and intercourse, we must continue to look upon our army as the true sceptre of our Oriental supremacy. The mildness of our sway, the native interests created and maintained by our traffic, and the dread inspired by the fame of our greatness in another hemisphere, are accessories to the peaceable maintenance of an influ ence in the East, upon which a wise Government will never place exclusive reliance. If we can find space we shall to-morrow offer a few additional remarks upon this subject. By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Falmouth on Monday, we have received advices from Cadiz, of the 24th, and Lisbon, of the 27th ult. The Cadiz Jour nals state that General CORDOVA had seceded from the revolutionary junta, leaving to General NARVAEZ the glory and the danger of directing the popular move ment in that province. There is nothing that interests us in this announcement ; and if our readers can but remember one-tenth of what we have written concern ing the braggart CORDOVA, they will trouble them selves very little about his espousal of the cause of any party. His proper sphere is: the Royal anti-cham ber. He is a courtier and a carpet-knight, but neither a statesman nor a true soldier. The only news of any moment from Portugal is the announcement of the arrival of Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, the English Ambassador, in Lisbon. The Queen and Royal infant are doing well ; and the country is for the moment tranquil. The following account of a new loan, which the Ministry has been compelled to contract in order to meet the current ex penses, is from the Lisbon correspondence of our Contemporary the Morning Herald, published in a Second Edition : " The Government has been obliged to contract a new loan of 830 contos (190,0001.) with the Confianca Insurance Company, mortgaging the revenue as a security. The terms are to advance the amount in six instalments at in tervals of a fortnight, three-fourths in coin, and the re mainder in Government bonds, now in circulation. No interest is to be charged, but as the bonds which are to be received in part are at a discount of 85 per cent., the lenders, recovering the whole in cash, will make a profit of 85 per cent. on one-fourth, or 214 on the sum total. Have the Chartists of the North of England no misgivings about the wisdom or sincerity of their os tensible leaders, when they find these men differing on th e essential principles of Radical Reform, and agree ing cordially only on one point, an appeal to physical force ? One is an ultra-Tory, another an ultra- Radical, and a third, who professes the same faith, rejects its first principle, Universal Suffrage. We never read the accounts of meetings about the People's Charter without poignant regret, and shame too, that the sober-minded people of this country should imitate so closely the conduct of the dastardly, unprincipled Spaniards. They seem to fight only for their own destruction and the triumph of their old oppressors— the men, or the descendants of the men, who trampled down the people at Manchester, who, while they had the power, punished Reformers as criminals, and who at the present moment de sire nothing more devoutly than the consummation to which the violent harangues of the Tory OASTLER evidently point. These appeals to violence have al ready created disunion among the great body of Ra dicals ; and, even without the interference of Whigs and Tories, were a contest to take place between the two sections, scarcely a doubt remains which in the end would prevail. Yet with This disunion before their eyes—with the power of wealth opposed to them— with the moral and physical influence of the middle classes in favour of peace—with all the lower classes who have an interest in seventeen millions sterling de dosited in Savings Banks—and with the tens of thou sands that would follow in the train of the titled and untitled Aristocracy, independent of the immense power of an established Government,'men are listened to who proposing the alternative of " demands in full," or " cold lead and sharp steel." Are the degenerate suici dal Spaniards more inconsistent, and have these men of extreme opinions and extreme violence learnt nothing by the experience even of their own times ? BURDETT, and HUNT, and COBBETT were great leaders in their day. They proposed sweeping measures— Universal Suffrage, and a thousand other Reforms which they knew they could not get, and which their subsequent history proves they did not desire. COB BETT at the close of his life was verging towards Toryism ; HUNT during the discussions on the Reform Bill was cheered and tapped on the shoulder by the PEELS; and BURDETT, the only living monu ment of base apostacy from the ranks of Radical Reform, is now yoked with the men that hate the very name of Reform. Extremes meet ; and if OASTLER and O'CONNOR meet, why may not O'CONNOR and BURDETT ? Violent measures of reform are always full of suspicion ; and though we give Mr. O'CON NOR credit for his sincerity in the cause of the people, we pay him this tribute at the expense of his judgment. The Paris Journals of Monday are as destitute of interesting news as those of Saturday and Sunday ; nor is their barrenness relieved by the Papers from Spain, received this morning. Extracts from both will be found in another part of The Sun. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) HARVEY, ESQ, 31. P. V. RICHARDSON. Mr. JERVIS (with whom was Mr. CHANNELL) stated the case. It was an action brought by D. W. Harvey, M.P. for Southwark, to recover so much as the Jury would con sider him entitled to under the circumstances which he would detail to them. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to state the facts of the case at some length, from which it appeared that the plaintiff was for some time pro prietor of the Evening and Weekly True Sun Newspapers, and that on the 16th October, 1837, an agreement was en tered into between him and the defendant to act as adver tisement agent, in consideration of receiving a com mission of twenty-five per cent. upon the amount of advertisements procured, and deducting 32/. 10s. a-week for advertisements which ought not to be obtained through the defendant's agency. The Learned Counsel then went into a statement of the various sums received for advertise ments up to June 24,1838, when the plaintiff ceased to have any connection with the True Sun newspaper, and deduced from them that there was a sum of about 50/. due to the plaintiff, besides 25/. paid into the Court. Thomas Carpenter—l was in plaintiff's employment. He sold the daily True Sun in December, 1837. After that period I assisted in the publication of the Weekly Tru e Sun up to April or May, when I left ; defendant acted as advertising agent, and gave me from time to time statements of the sums received by him. The accounts were put i n , amount i ng to 1981. Is. 6d. There were two th in other s ums adm i tted—of 129/. and 4/. 10s. Cross-ex am i ne d to by Mr. RICHARDS—My duty was to attend ead t v he ert t is w e o me p n a t pe a rs cco d u i( n i ts n . ot T a l m ie o p u r n e t vio to us ad vertisements2B 1. per week. [Some discussion here took place as to the precise terms of the agreement between the parties, but Lord Denman directed the case to proceed,] Philip Youngman, accountantun a and ffi at the True Sun oce, deposed that the T rue S 18,37eittlii7. paper, ceased to exist on the 23d of Decemb er , eng merged in The Sun n ewspaper, and that he had n; ade frequenti applications to the defendant , after having made out accounts. I was p res ent at an interview between plain defendant in July last, and the account now produced was shown to de fendan P t. laintiff called upon defend ant for the amount, 1 0 9/., and said he would not allow him o r any other man to retain 1 , 35 money. Mr. Harvey objected to the defen dant's charge (or com mission. Calculation s we ,,, entered into, and the sum of 04'.. 105. was made out to be d ue . Mr. Richardson as commission. Mr. Harvey required the full sum of 1291., and said he would allow the commission afterwards. Defendant said he could not pay that sum, but would give a check for 50/. Mr. Harvey said he would take the 501., but that he must have a bill for the remainder. Mr. Richardson said he would give a bill for 30/. in addi tion, but Mr. Harvey said he would not take it. Mr. Richardson said he would then have no money as commis sion. Mr. Harvey said be would give him a check for 20/. on account. That was refused, and they separated. There are a great numb er o f a d vert i semen t s s till unpaid, and many will never be paid. lam employed to collect them at a commission of .5 per cent. Witness then stated the total amount of advertisements for the two papew up to the 23d December to be 4551. 10s. 4d. ; and, deducting 32/. 10s. per week, it would leave a balance upon which the commission would be about 341. 12s. 7d. A similar statement for the subsequent period was made. Cross-examined.—There was no complaint at the inter view by Mr. Richardson of not having been allowed to see the books. The books were on the table, and he saw the amounts stated. Mr. Harvey objected to Mr. Richard son's collecting the last quarter's accounts. Mr. Richard son had commission upon all the advertisements, whether they were paid or not. Mr. RICHARDS (in the absence of Sir F. Pollock) ad dressed the Jury for the defendant, who, he said, had reason to complain of the manner in which he had been treated by the plaintiff. He contended that the account sent in by Mr. Richardson had " Errors Excepted" at the bottom, and that it was impossible for the defendant to have made out an accurate account of the transactions between him self and Mr. Harvey, as he was denied all access to the books. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the de mand sent in by Mr. Richardson for 1341. l Os. as com mission, and also to the statement made by Mr. Harvey, that he was entitled to a deduction of 32/. 10s. per week for advertisements received from other sources, when it was proved that the total amount was under 28/. per week. George Dismore, publisher of the True Sun Newspaper, deposed that about the 24th July last the defendant, Mr. Richardson, in his publishing-room, tendered 251. to Mr. Harvey, who said he could not think of taking it, as the matter was in the hands of his solicitor. Mr. JEavis replied ; and Lord DENMAN having summed up the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 501. Os. 2d. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) BEEACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—VERREY U. GEORGE. This was an action brought to recover damages for an alleged breach of promise of marriage. The lady kept a grocer's shop with her mother at a place called Leghland, near Staines ; the defendant was a hair-dresser at Chertsey. Sergeant Bumpus was for the plaintiff ; Serjeant Tal fourd and Mr. Humphreys for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of the mother, the bro ther-in-law, and uncle of Miss Verrey, that the defendant had commenced his attentions to her in 1836, and the affair had proceeded so far, that not only was he considered her lover, but the wedding dress was actually purchased. In Angust last, however, he wrote a short letter stating that he did not think the marriage would prove a happy one, and that he must decline the union. The medical attendant of the family deposed that though Miss Verrey had experienced an attack of the ague for a short time she had completely recovered ; and there was nothing in her state of health to prevent her forming a matrimonial connection. The certificate of the marriage of defendant with another lady, at the commencement of the present year was put in, as also divers letters, tending to show the rela tion which subsisted between the parties. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then addressed the Jury for the defendant. He expressed a doubt whether it was wise to give a legal right of action in cases of this kind ; and whether it would not be better to leave them to be dealt with by the feelings and opinions of society. He affirmed that it was evident the defendant had no mercenary motive in breaking off the marriage treaty ; for the lady whom he had married was not, it appeared, possessed of any pro perty, whereas Miss Verrey was in the expectation of re ceiving a little fortune—of considerable importance to persons in the station of life in which these parties were. The Learned Sergeant read the letter which the defendent wrote to Miss Verrey, declining the union, and which ran as follows :—" My dear Miss Verrey—You will not be sur prised, I hope, at a letter instead of a visit. There has been something of coldness between us ; and I do not approve of our connection. I have come to the re solution of communicating to you the result—painful to both of us. I think we should not be happy together, and that we had better part, and bury the past in oblivion. This is not the impulse of the moment, but the result of serious consideration ; and I hope it will be to our mutual happiness and benefit ; and that there will be no animosity between us. Whether that be so or not I think it will be better to part than to make a contract with any doubt of our happiness." The Learned Ser geant put it to the Jury, if the defendant believing that happiness would not be the result of his marriage with Miss Verrey, this was not a very proper letter to write under the circumstances. He ridiculed the idea of any sentimental notions about " blighted affections," " violated attach ments," &c., with regard to the lady in this case, who, it appeared, had been forsaken by a former suitor ; and that she was now in the habit of going all the way to Chertsey to the shop of an apprentice of defendant's), who had set up in the same business of hair dressing, and in her way both to and fro passing the defen dant's shop—probably with the view of showing him, when her ringlets had been beautified and adorned—of showing the defendant what he had lost.—(Laughter.) If the lady had any vindictive feelings to gratify she would succeed, for the result of the present action, even with nominal damages—and surely the Jury would not give more— would be to send the defendant to prison for the costs in curred. The Jury would consider what the lady had really lost by the disappointment of a marriage with a poor hair dresser in a little country town—his stock in trade a few razors and a piece of soap—(Laughter)--his income scattered pennies and twopences. And he (Sergeant Talfourd) trusted that the Jury would think with him, that that nominal damages would he quite a sufficient compensa tion to the plaintiff for what she had lost, especially as the effect would be to send the poor hair-dresser of Chertsey to prison. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE briefly summed up. It was for the Jury, in cases of this kind, to assess the damages according to their discretion. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 201. The next case happened to be one arising out of the do mestic disputes in a family, and Mr. HUMPIIRRYS, who was Counsel for the plaintiff, pleasantly observed that he wished, for the sake of his former client, this case had been tried first ; for, if the Jury had heard the dissensions which often attended the marriage state, they would not have been inclined to give such heavy damages for a breach of pro mise of marriage, at which the Court, Jury, Counsel, and audience, laughed most heartily. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1838. ADMIRALTY COURT.-(THIS DAY. IMPORTANT DECISION.—BOTTONIRY BONDS. Sir C. LUSIIINGTON, this morning, gave judgment in the case of the ship Vibelia, which was argued a short time ago. The question arose on the validity of a bottomry bond, exe cuted by the master of the vessel at Philadelphia, in which port the vessel had taken refuge, in consequence of having sustained serious injuries at sea, on her homeward voyage from Honduras. The bond was duly executed, but its va lidity was impugned on the ground of law, and also of fact. It was said in the course of the argument, that bottomry bonds were of a high and sacred character. The only meaning be attached to the observation was, that where once a transaction was clearly proved to have been of a bottomry character, and the bond was in all its essentials apparently correct, the presumption of the law was in favour of its validity, and should not be impugned, except where there was conclusive evidence of fraud, or where the money had been advanced on different conside ra ti ons , an d it ap peared to him that this view of the question was confirmed by the very nature of bottomry transactions themselves. All these transactions must be the act of the mas ter or agent of the owner, and the presumption was, that he would perform his duty honestly, and not unne cessarily subject the property of his principal to heavy bur dens. Again, these transactions taking place in a distant country, furnished another reasonable presumption in favour of the bond signed by the Master. It was for the greatest advantage of the shipping interest that bottomry transactions should not be rendered too difficult, and in ordinary cases there was the less reason to complain, because the interest of the owner could never be affected, save by the act of his own selected agent, except in a few cases where the original master was no longer in possess ion of the c ommand. Th, facts of the case were very few and simple. There were two very essential particulars, admitting of no doubt. The absence of all personal credit was beyond question ; and the distress was not only admitted, but .it was contended on the part of the owner, that the injuries were .so exten sive, and the expense of the repairs so enormous, that they ought to have been abandoned. Assuming this, the question with the was, could such circumstances affect the validity of a bottomry coun tenance Did the evidence in this case satisfy the Court either that Mr. Baldwin had been guilty of fraudulent con duct in advancing the money or deficient in the exerc i se of that caution which the law exacted from him? He was decidedly a and d f contrary o a dvi ee of. r o hagent t to Lloyd's, and the British Consul. No objection was raised to the Commission. Looking at all the facts he P e nion master r o l f e the acted au without hesitation came to the conclusion that this trans action was not tainted with fraud or with a corrupt ,desfre unreasonably to profit by the distreos of the vessel, ' • It was said that the transaction had proved ruinous to the owner. That this adventure had turned out unprofitably there could be no doubt, but the ques tion was whether that circumstance affected the validity of the bond. If the master had been compelled to repair the vessel by Mr. Baldwin against his remonstrance, the case would have assumed a different aspect, and would clearly approach a case of fraud ; but this was wholly un supported by any act prior to the date of the bond, and in direct opposition to the master's conduct throughout the whole transaction. The question came to this—not whe ther all the advances were originally made on the bottomry undertaking, but whether any part of the responsibility was incurred on money advanced on personal credit. He was clearly of opinion that Mr. Baldwin did not intend to advance money on personal credit at all, and was perfectly satisfied as to the validity of the bond, in favour of which he therefore pronounced, and with costs. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A well-dressed young man, who gave the name of Stephen Thompson, was brought up by 88 F division, who stated that at a quarter-past six o'clock this morning he found him leasing against the wall in Russell -street, in a state of intoxication, and incapable of taking care of himself. The defendant had been seen by another constable during the night wandering about, but not suspecting anything was the matter, be thought it unnecessary to take him into cus tody. On being searched at the station-house there were found upon him a wine-glass, an empty vial, and a bottle containing nearly half a pint 'of laudanum, with directions to take a certain quantity at stated periods, and directed to Denison, Esq." On being placed at the bar, Mr. THISTLETON, a county Magistrate, put several questions to him, which he refused to answer, but accounted for the laudanum by saying that he was in the habit of taking a lose every day, and that he lodged for the last three months at 23, Cecil-street, Strand. He was then put back, and on the officer making inquiries at the house where he said he lodged, there was no such person known there. His dialect is that of a North-countryman. Mr. THISTLETON observing that the defendant appeared not very collected, gave directions that he should be closely watched, and to be brought up again in the evening. COURT CIRCULAR.

The Guernsey Comet, of Thursday, says, " Owing to the tempestuous state of the weather yesterday and to day, neither the Monarch, from Southampton, nor the packet from Weymouth, have yet made their appearance. At noon, we were visited with a violent storm of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain, which lasted for about an hour, when the weather gradually cleared up. It yet blows very hard from the westward. We have not heard of any damage being done. On Wednesday night last, James Gunstone, a porter to an auctioneer, residing in Bennett -street, Tottenham court-road, returned home in a state of intoxication, and between eleven and twelve o'clock he precipitated himself from the second floor window, when he fell upon the railing in front of the house, the spikes of which stuck into his person. His groans alarmed the neighbourhood, until a policeman of the E divisi o n, an d ot h er persons, came to his assistance and extricated him, when he was carried to the Middlesex Hospital, where he now lies in a deplorable state. SUPERABUNDANCE OF L ABOUR.—There are five candidates for the vacant Chaplaincy of the Knutsford House of Correction, viz.: —The Rev. Dudley ; the R ev . R. D.

By the arrival of the Tagus steamer, accounts have been received from Alexandria to the 6th November, Malta 16th, Gibraltar 23d, Cadiz 24th, Lisbon 27th, and Vigo 30th. MALTA, Nov. 14.—We have the satisfaction to learn that her Majesty Queen Adelaide arrived at Naples in the Hastings on the 29th ult., after a most prosperous passage from Gibraltar. Her Majesty will, we understand, make a stay of about three weeks in that capital, and after pay ing a short visit to Palermo and Messina, will proceed to this island, where the most cordial reception awaits her. The Gibraltar Papers do not contain any news of the least importance. The Tagus has brought the remainder of the overland letters from India, but the news they contain have been an ticipated through Marseilles. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY, DEC. 4.—We have had a fair demand for Cotton to-day, the sales amount to 7,000 bags, chiefly American ; prices fully maintained. THE FUNDS. Consols, which closed last night at 931 i for Money, and 931 i for the Account, opened this morning at the same quotation, and very little business has been done at present.

The business doing in the Stock Exchange has been upon a limited scale, and no variation of moment has taken place. The Commissioners for the Reduction of the Na tional Debt have purchased six thousand of the Three per Cent. Reduced at 92i. Admiral Stopford was at Malta with most of the ships composing the squadron nnder his command. A demon stration in the Archipelago being also considered unneces sary, the Capitan Pasha, it was said, would return with his fleet to Constantinople. The bulk of the letters brought by the last overland mail, via Marseilles, were received this morning ; but, as may be imagined, the most important portion of their contents has been anticipated by the papers which came to hand last week. We find that the Governor of Bombay had issued a notice to the effect that as circumstances would most probably hinder the transmission of letters by a steamer to the Red Sea in November, a sailing vessel would be in readiness to start with the mails on the Ist of that month. From this arrangement it is probable we may remain much longer than usual deprived of intelligence from our Indian possessions. The fall of rain in the Deccan had been very abundant, although there continued to be a serious deficiency in the Presidency. This, however, at so advanced a period of the season, was not likely to have any very beneficial influence on the crops. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief had noti fied that he proposed to leave Poonali shortly for Bombay, and was daily expected in that Presidency. The troops that were in orders for Cutch were to be halted either in Bombay or their present stations until required. The pro bability of the formation of two or three corps of observa tion and defence, upon or towards the Nepaul frontier, was daily increasing. The utmost activity continued to exist in drilling and enlisting the natives under the rule of Great Britain. The latest advices from the Burmese empire, received at Bombay, represented the Sovereign of that country as favourably disposed towards the English, if by Russian intrigue he was not induced to abandon his own views. We bear nothing of the arrival of the Great Western at Bristol, but it is confidently expected that accounts brought by her from New York, will reach town in the course of to-day or to•morrow. The accounts received from Stockholm this morning convey the satisfactory intelligence, that the Finance Mi nister, in order to afford relief to the merchants and com mercial interests of Norway, suffering severely from the scarcity of money—the banks having ceased discounting__ had devised measures for establishing a Royal Commission to effect discounts on behalf of the Government. The accounts from Cadiz, of the 24th ult., state that the Seville insurrection is rather satisfactory, as none of the troops would join the mutineers.

Consols f or tleo A TfIREE O'CLOCK ceount, MU. For some time past the neigbourhood of Uxbridge has been much infested by thieves, but through the activity of the police, they appear to have been driven to the vi cinity of Southall and Hanwell, where many robberies have lately been committed. Last Friday evening, about seven o'clock, the bailiff of Sir W. C. Ellis, of Southall Park, caught a fellow actually cutting up a sheep. He made a desperate resistance, and being a very powerful man, was not secured without great difficulty, having wounded one man with his knife, and bitten the other. The bailiff had fortunately taken with him a rape, with ' which his legs were fastened. He was secured after a severe struggle, and carried into the house, and afterwards taken the lock-up house at Hanwell. THE QUEEN AND TARTANS.—We were much gratified to see orders with our townsman Mr. D. Mac dougall of the Tartan Warehouse, for supplies of hie tin e tartan, from the Queen, Duchess of Kent, Empress of Russia, Brussels, Vienn a , &c., and from a great many et the English and Scotch Nobility. M‘D, has, for the last five years, much improved thi s p art of Oil; nati ve manufacture, and has brought out all the cexrect seta a the ancient clans,—lnverness PRICES OF SHARES THI THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
